Foxhornet, my advice is to contact your local FA dept indicating your new address, in order that they may inspect it PRIOR to storing them at the new address, it is a breach of your FAC condition unless you do so, in the short term you could store them with a RFD, whilst your local FA dept carries out all the relevant checks on the address & it's occupants, and confirms everyting is OK, good lucklooks like me and the wife ar parting company. i just walked round to me parents with a bag of clothes need some advice.its not a bad split wer still friends.if she had told me earlier i could hav took me guns to local rfd for storage dont no wot else to do at min all advice apretiated

Hello Matt H, just read your post, I can guarantee, unless you inform your local FA dept you will be in breach, I represented a chap last year who failed to notify, PRIOR to moving his Firearms, he had all his gun seized, and ended up at Crown Court, POlice wanted him banned for 5 years & Pros wanted £2,500:00p in their costs, I managed to to get it reduced to 18 months, and costs of £100:00p, my advice DO NOT EVEN THINK OF NOT INVOLVING YOUR LOCAL FA DEPT in a case such as this, do otherwise would be costly in more ways than oneIn what way could that possibly be construed as a breach of the conditions of the FAC, unless you have an extra condition saying you have to inform them before moving the weapons?
The condition on the FAC states that you must inform them of a permanent change of address without undue delay. The exact wording is:-
3) The holder of the certificate must, without undue delay, inform the chief officer of police by whom the certificate was granted of any change in his permanent address.
It doesn't say you have to tell them first does it?
As for 6pointers "don't even tell her you've put them in storage" I'd say exactly the opposite. Make a point of telling her that the guns have been stored with an RFD. That way she can't claim that you threatened her with them. If she doesn't know they're in storage she can still claim she felt afraid of them, and that you had used the threat of them to frighten her. If you've told her they're in storage then any claim that you tried to intimidate her with the threat of them is removed. I'd put it in writing to her, with a copy to the police. Even an email would do, CCing the police. That way she can see that she hasn't got any grounds for a malicious claim.
Why delete the threadthanks for all the replies spoke to mike at basc an guns ar at rfd.thaught it best to delete the thread if a mod could do that for me please!
